VIKNNA, November 4.?A racial demon stration took place here today between stu dents of the university, a few stones and. sticks being used. Otherwise tbe day passed off without serious consequences. The affair arose from the German-speaking; Austrian students, who are adherents of Pan-Germanism, singing the "Wacht Am Rhein," cheering for German Ideals and ordering the Slav and Italian students to uncover in honor of the "WachtAm Rheln." The latter refused, whereupon the Ger mans charged and ousted the Slavs and Italians from the university precincts. This Incident is Indicative of the political unr rest, of which the near future is Uabl? to produce other evidcucea. twenty-first birthday, and yet the medal presented to the Dennlson la the first of Its ; kind. After a glowing tribute to Miss Raw iings, Mr. C. 8. Clark and Miss Susan 81 pe, whose lecture before th$ convention of the national society in the early summer, It Is said, was so appreciated that the Idea of presenting through her a medal to the Washington schools arose, Mr. Oud? said: "As president of the Florists' Club of Washington, D. C., as well as past president of the American Florists and Ornamental Horticulturists, I take great pleasure In pre senting this medal, which is representative of one of the highest Ideals incident to hu man endeavors, to wit?the love of and for nature. Nothing is so essential -to the future of 1 men and women as the Implanting of pure 1 thought in the minds of the young. The cultivation of flowers and knowledge of their origin and species Is not primary educatlon, but Is conducive of the highest development of culture; and while manual training Is one of the great factors In mod ern education, and while the brain Is to be fed on Intellectual aspirations, it Is, after all, the soul and heart that constitutes true V MEDAL. manhood and womanhood; but the flowers In all their beauty reflect not only the spirit, but the substance of God's benefi cence. ' "May this school, which is named after one of the great war governors of Ohio, continue to be r winner in all the contests for good citizenship and for true and loyal manhood and womanhood." At the sight of the large bronze medal I every boy and girl shouted and waved hts own individual American Beauty rose, for Mr. Gude had sent 430 of the gorgeous blos soms to the school- that had, as he said, de served so much. Mr. Clark Responds. Supervising Principal Clark accepted the medal for the school, saying, to the great amusement of all, that the real American beauties were the boys and girls them selves. Addresses were made by Miss Rawlings, assistant superintendent; Mrs. Ida G. Myers and Miss Sipe, who explained that the medal had been won without competition, no one knowing that it was In store for the school that had made the greatest improve ment. The exercises closed with a song, "Good Night to the Flowers." CHARMING MILLINERY WOMEN'S STYLES FOB 1905 BE COMING AND IN GOOD FORM. "The new fall styles of ladies' hats which transfix our admiring glances and warm our hard masculine hearts to soft tender ness are certainly most fetching, and are a radical reversal of form from Jast season's feminine head adornment," remarked a well-known Washington beau and authority on ladies' apparel today on F street where he stood watching the lovely dreams of the capital In tailor-made gowns float airily by. "It takes a woman's natural Ingenu ity," continued the beau, "to construct of a piece of felt, a few touches of ribbon and here and there a feather, a rakish and be coming headpiece. The new style this sea son resembles, to our Ignorant but reminis cent eyes. In almost exact detail of outline, the old-fashioned crimped coal scuttle, only inverted, with the corrugated ends up, and the scoop point very high and worn for ward. "But there is a well-deflned principle of fashion In this, don't you see. The angles, pitches, corrugations and catchy twists ex emplify one of the cardinal edicts of style contrast. They are the antithises of the once universally worn big flat hat. The big flat hat In its various modifications, pro jecting far, and in some of the extreme ef fects, very far, In front, was one of the most enticing, popular and lasting styles the ladles had in years. The level poke out In front was becoming to eight women out of ten; that's why it endured so long. In the new styles the angles are oblique and up from the face and head. A great many women, however, do not look well In a hat that goes up from the face. Day of Polo Turban Past. "Happily, the little polo hat, or the dimin utive round collar box that appeared so suddenly upon the streets, and startled the poor men out of a year's growth, died an un regret ted death. Our fair friends have tempted us with many wonderful and fierce shapes in hats, which we have accepted with resignation and trepidation, but the little round collar box was one of the most unbecoming. It expired naturally because not one woman in twenty appeared well In one. When a misguided lady of extra ample proportions with a full face, abun dant chin and neck came along on the north side of F street with one of those lit tle collar boxes perched on her head dis criminating men considerately turned away their heads and wept in silent pity. But this season's styles are veritable dreams of loveliness. I attribute as one reason for their catchy and rakish appearance the angles in which they are worn, and to their radical metamorphosis in shape to former molds. If a pretty woman can get one of the new hats in the right pitch It makes her thrice bewitching; the plain woman's angularities are softened. In masculine parlance, they are simply stunning. "One reason why some women wear such unbecoming hats, aside from lack of Indi vidual taste, is because they listen too at tentively to the advice of the obliging sales woman. As a rule, while the latter is pro fessionally sincere in her criticism, the fact remains that her principal object is to effect a sale. Ladles' facial delineations are so different that the pitch or angle of a hat makes all the difference in the world In a woman's appearance. A woman friend Is a better adviser, unless she is a jealous friend, but a male friend is still bet ter, If he can be coaxed or cajoled into the shoe. "Some men are most happy in their de cisions as to the general offect of a lady's hat, and nearly all can tell in that peculiar, indefinable way of theii s whether the head gear is becoming to the. wearer, even though they lack the ability to explain Just why It strikes their fancy. Any lady thus favored may feel quite sure that her new hat really becomes her. Another tiling about ladies' hat's- from a man's standpoint 13 that of all other articles they wear a woman Is the most touchy about her hat. 8he will forgive a slighting allusion as to her hair or her gown, but brave Indeed is the miserable man who unhappily touches upon the theme of hats to his dear one, ex cept in praise. An adverse criticism of the new hat seems to go straight to a woman's heart, and danger signals are sprung from the first word. Perhaps this is one reason why men don't like 'to go alone* when the purchase of a new hat Is In prospect." Will Build Baltimore's Sewers. BALTIMORE:, November 4.?Calvin W. Hendricks, assistant engineer of the board of rapid transit of New York city, was to day elected by the sewerage commission as chief engineer in charge of the construc tion of sewerage system for this city. At the Ijist municipal election In Baltimore the people voted for a loan of $10,000,000 to build sewers and a commission constating of Ave members appointed by the mayor is now planning to begin work. A VERT HOT FIGHT PENNSYLVANIA POLITICS IN A TURMOIL. Spec'al Correspondence of Tbe Star. PHILADELPHIA, Pa . November 4, 1908. Philadelphia la on the verge of the hotteet political fight in its history. In spite of the roseate claims of the republican organiza tion, which has been termed by Secrotary Root "a corrupt and criminal combination masquerading as republicans," who place their majority at from 40,000 to 50,000, and the equally rosy counter-claim of the de votees of civic reform of from 60,000 to 100,000 majority, it is an open secret among leaders of both parties that the fight Is to be the closest combat of ballots ever record ed In the Quaker City. Much bitterness Is rife. Libel suits have grown out of stump emanations, the police are divided, ani it Is freely predicted that election day will be marked with more than a single Instance of bloodshed. The forecasts quoted were announced this morning, but If the relative merits of the Issues of 'both sides are considered, the prognostication of the city party, which has been Indorsed by the democrats, prohibi tionists, independents and Lincolns, de serves the greater credence. In all there are nine tickets in the field. With the exception of tha citizens' party, a decoy name filed by the organization, the republicans stand alone. The socialist and socialist labor also stand alone. The city party is indorsed by the remainder as men tioned above. The only candidates who are belnir con sidered in the campaign are those of the republican and the city parties. The former ticket presents Dr. Joseph S. Neff for sheriff, Thomas Dugan, present coroner, re nominated for the same office; William Em sley and Howard A. Chase for county com missioners. Of these Dugan Is the most popular, and the organization depends on hlm> entirely for the salvation of the remainder of the ticket. The nominees of the city party are Wil liam H. Brown for sheriff, Rudolph Blank enburg and R. A. Anderson for city com missioners and J. M. Rush Jermon for cor oner. Blankenburg Is the most popular man on the ticket, having been a consistent agitator against machine rule and political corruption for the past twenty-five years. He Is a man of Irreproachable character, a mlllonalre, and commands the respect of all classes. Each of the nominees Is strong In the several bailiwicks. Issues, Not Men. But the fight Is distinctively one of issues and not of men. On Philadelphia are now centered the eyes of the country. The peo ple of this city realize it. The strife for civic betterment has received the Indirect approbation of President Roosevelt through Charles Emory Smith and Jacob Rlls, who declare that were he a resident of Philadel phia he would vote the city party ticket. Secretary Taft, too. In a speech anent ring-ridden Cincinnati, has stamped It with his approval, and the enormity of the ex posures which have followed one after an other since the Inception of the fight, each one exceeding Its predecessor In noisome and malodorous detail, has inspired the fear of almost certain defeat In machine cir cles. Beginning with the organization's attempt ed $'.?>,000,000 gas steal, the forces which have worked to bring about an utter de moralization of machine loyalty seem irre sistible. Reform candidates are declaring from the stump that "no honorable man, no decent citizen can vote the organization ticket and retain his manhood or reputa tion." A review of the most glaring revelations of the past fortnight relieve this broad pro nouncement of an extreme or far-fetched guise. The sensational aspects attendant upon the failure of the Enterprise National Bank of Allegheny and the suicide of Its cashier, who left a note to his wife declaring that he had been ruined by "Bull" Andrews, who is so closely identified with Philadelphia politics, and the discovery that United States Senator Boies Penrose was, in some way, Implicated In the bank's downfall, de spite his profane denial of the day after, has had Its local effect. The startling charges of graft made in the report of Maj. Casslus E. Gillette of Washington, who investigated the Torresdale filtration plant, as built by D. J. McNlchol & Co., the company Including Israel W. Durham and James P. McNlchol, the former the machine leader of Philadelphia and the lat ter second in command?the latest expose? has created a feeling of general revulsion past all adequate estimate. Graft, Graft, Graft. In every line the report breathes graft, graft, graft. Its conclusion Is "attempted steal, 19.000.000; accomplished steal, $6,000, 000." An overpowering array of facts and figures substantiate that conclusion, and Its disclosures spell the ruin of one man, George C. Deitrlch, who, driven to des peration. deserted his Skme and family In a state bordering on Insanity. The perpetrators of the alleged steal will be brought to trial immediately after elec tion, and in the words of Judge James Gay Gordon, counsel for Mayor Weaver, "jus tice, Impartial and unrelenting, will be dealt them." The expose of graft In the smallpox san itarium had a like effect. Its perpetrators are already in the hands of the law. Like revelations in the consumptive annex of the I Philadelphia Hospital have lent weight and votes to the city party cause. Many minor ! Instances of graft have worked to the same end, and today consternation rules In the high and low places of machine circles. Another candidate, too, according to Col. James GufTey, who will win by a majority of 60,< oJ in the state, is Mayor William H. Berry of Chester, candidate for state treas- i urer. He will receive virtually all city party votes In Philadelphia, because of the j fidelity of J. Lee Plummer, his opponent, to the organization and the recent exposures as to the methods employed In the handling of state funds by the crowd. Women Enlisted. Over 10,000 women have enrolled In a j club for civic purity. The number In cludes some of the most prominent women of the city. They are doing everything pos sible, In their own effective way, for the success of the fight which they tersely de scribe as "graft versus anti-graft." They hold nightly meetings, which are addressed by leading club women, contrib ute to the campaign fund and at home they are insistent that husband and son shall vote to uphold and perpetuate good munic ipal government as Instituted by Mayor John Weaver nearly a year ago. Every minister and priest of every re ligious creed holds forth against the or ganization weekly. The revolt is general in all circles of professional and commer cial life.

The whole city is in turmoil and many of the stores shortened the usual short Sat urday hours this arternoon that no lack of moral support should be shown at the meet ings. Thirty-five meetings are scheduled in dif ferent parts of the city for the day and night and tension over the result on Tues day Is at its highest. ^n the other hand the campaign of the machine has been pre-eminently a feeble one. With but one paper to stand by It the effect has been Indifferent when contrasted with the remaining dallies of the city which are arrayed against it. Spent $1,000,000. In advertising by poster, painted sign and tn the dailies which are rabidly opposed to It, together with expenditures for parades and red fire, the organization has spent at a conservative estimate a round million. As to real issues, the machine has none. At best Its campaign has been one of sophistry, but nothing daunted they are still pouring in their money In the hope that the 200,000 majority will not be overcome. With all campaign guns practically fired and public opinion molded now beyond all hope of perversion, little remains for the success or failure of either party between now and Tuesday. Politically, Philadelphia is not a town of surprises, but now when every woman on the street displays a city party button, when every man talks simply of the bat tle of ballots to be fought on Tuesday, and with fear and trembling in the ranks of both sides, a surprise will not be a sur prise to Philadelphlans. A careful review of the political horizon would indicate that the city party will either win by a safe majority or uphold civic decency by a sweeping victory at the polls. WILLIAM H. PAYNB.
